The Louisa vest is an adorable separate to add to your necessities rack. We made ours in navy corduroy & leather and are in love. A simple layering piece with princess seams you can dress up or down- any time of the year.

can we get a plus size version? a well endowed woman (you know in the chest area) i dont think could wear this. i would need at least one more size for this. i know trying to resize myself doesnt always work. please?? i think other people would agree it would help to have a plus size version. doesnt everyone want cute clothes? and be able to make them too?

Crazy stuff, I think BurdaStyle are reading my mind too as I was wanting to make a vest! Not sure if I’ll go for this pattern or the Franzi though, because the vest I had in mind would mean alterations to the pattern either way! Great to see Monday projects back though :)

Yes it’s very cute but… Well the vests have to show curves, and be fitted. And this vest isn’t so. Sorry but I think that the vesy should FIT the body shape, and show it off. In this case the vest is just hovering… :|

I’m loving the return of proper Monday patterns, and this waistcoat is so awesome! I was kind of over them but the fabric choice is really cool. Modern and yet a bit steampunk – what more could you want? I love you guys, Burdastyle.

This is a cute basic vest. I really like the way you guys made it in corduroy and leather! Very nice. I do have to say, though, that I wish you guys would at least make basic patterns like this one cost a little less. I think $2 would be a fair price – BurdaStyle used to have a lot more patterns for around $2, and for something basic, I think that’s reasonable. Just my two cents!
